The Minister of Health Prof. Kostadin Angelov announced at the weekly briefing of the National Operational Headquarters that the measures introduced in Bulgaria to limit the infection are working. According to official data for the last week, the number of people cured is three times higher than the number of newly infected with COVID-19.
From Thursday mobile medical stations will be situated in front of all state and regional hospitals in the country. This became clear at a briefing given by the Health Minister Kostadin Angelov. There will be a team of a doctor and a nurse in these medical stations. They will consult patients who cannot reach specialists or their personal doctor for one reason or another. This will give people access to a timely consultation and a quick COVID-19 test.
The government decided today that the emergency epidemic situation in Bulgaria will be prolonged until the end of September. This was suggested by the Minister of Health and approved by the parliament via a videoconference. However, the Health Minister assures that no new restrictive measures against COVID-19 are envisaged for now.
